Bringing Tetris to the DS, Nintendo has thrown in many new game modes, and branded the whole game with their classic NES characters.
Game Modes
-
Marathon Mode
Classic Tetris. Each time you clear 10 rows (up to 200) the background changes to another scene from a Famicom/NES game. When a block is falling, you can hold it in a box for later use.
-
Touch Mode
Drag the Tetriminoes around on screen to clear them and open the cage of balloons.
-
Push Mode
Two players push blocks towards their opponent by clearing lines.
-
Catch Mode
You control a floating core of blocks which you can rotate right or left. Catch the blocks that fall from above and create a solid square to clear them.
-
Puzzle Mode
Choose the correct puzzle pieces needed to clear all of the blocks from the screen in the right order.
-
Mission Mode
You are given a task to complete within a time limit. Achieve the task to move on to the next mission.
As well as the main game modes, you can also play Tetris wirelessly with up to ten other players, or battle over the Nintendo Wi-Fi service.
